International Training on Dialogue and Mediation at Uppsala University in Sweden

The objective of the International Training on Dialogue and Mediation is to share knowledge, build capacity and strengthen networks for dialogue within the overall effort of sustaining peace. Bringing together researchers, practitioners and policymakers to draw on current research on dialogue in diverse conflict settings, the programme aims to strengthen skills and deepen understanding while also providing space for participants to discuss and develop new approaches for peace efforts in which they are engaged. In the long term, the training aims to strengthen a broad variety of leaders in their contributions to the nurturing of sustainable peace. The training builds on 45 years of peace and conflict research and education at Uppsala University, combined with insights from the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation’s ongoing engagement in international policy discussions in the peacebuilding field.

The training will be divided into three overarching themes. The themes cover various phases of peacemaking and peacebuilding in armed conflicts and categorize the expertise and evidence-based insights existing within the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation and the Department of Peace and Conflict Research (Uppsala University). When applying for the training you are invited to specify your interests along these themes:

International roles in mediation and peace agreements
Inclusive national and community level dialogue
Methods and practical skill-building in dialogue and mediation
Only candidates who meet the basic criteria will be considered for participation. Selected candidates will be notified by e-mail no later than three weeks after the application deadline. Once selected, the candidate must confirm participation within one week. A letter of acceptance will be sent out, containing information on preparations and participation in the training.
